If tag

Parasite03

Hello everyone. I had some spare time, so I thought of thins thing:
1. Add If= tag (described later),CustomCommandXX= tag and conditions. Also, while would be useful too. So, a thing like this:

[GASPOT]
CustomCommand01=if(Spotlight.EnemyDetected) {
Spotlight.DisableGreen=yes
Spotlight.DisableBlue=yes
}

This should make the game make the spotlight red if condition Spotlight.EnemyDetected which is basically "if there is enemy in the range that is Spotlight.Range, then do the thing". The same thing could be done via while, but it will also make it white back.

For such things there is C++ and ASM levels.

Would be much easier top just suggest controls for when an enemy is detected?

A script like system would be a lot of work to implement, and if so, integrate into the game.

An INI file is a set of key/value pairs grouped by sections, and it does not know about the state of any game object. It just cannot know this. It doesn't even know what spotlights are, and whether a certain spotlight detected an enemy. Also, the type information for BuildingTypes does not change during a match. Thus, the color will not change. If it would, all spotlights on the map would change.

The simplest solution for this feature would be to add new tags like Spotlight.EnemyDetected.DisableGreen=, which defaults to Spotlight.DisableGreen.

Or you could just give it a weapon with a little red light fire animation on the building. Might not change the actual spot light colour but it would give you the same information.
